3/5

Solos are soulless goblody-gook yet still impressive, love the slower bpm stuff, higher bpm moments (most of the album) were an anxiety ride

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

2/5

Pre listen: I don't think I will like , have avoided due to vocal so far Post listen: Vocal was OK, like Rodriguez and see it's influnce on contemporary acts like foxxygen.
